Application Server
The foundation of Oracle Fusion Middleware is Oracle Application Server 10g. Designed for grid computing, Oracle Application Server 10g incorporates
clustering and caching technology, which increases application reliability, performance, security and scalability. Oracle Application Server 10g also provides a
complete integration platform that is designed to simplify and accelerate business, application and data integration projects.
The Identity Management option for Oracle Application Server 10g makes it easier for companies to manage multiple identities and access privileges, which
helps to safeguard information, critical systems and applications against unauthorized access.
Oracle Application Server 10g also includes Oracle Portal, which allows personalized portal sites to be rapidly developed and deployed, all with single sign-on
and security. Portal sites are assembled using portlets, which are reusable interface components that provide access to web-based resources such as applications,
business intelligence reports, syndicated content feeds and outsourced software services. With the wireless capability of Oracle Application Server 10g Enterprise
Edition, portal sites can be made available to any wireless device.

and analysis, proactive intelligence and alerts, enterprise reporting, real-time predictive intelligence and mobile analytics.

Intelligence Suite Standard Edition is optimized to work with Oracle data and applications.
Developer Suite
Oracle Developer Suite is an integrated suite of development tools designed to facilitate rapid development of internet database applications and web services.
The Oracle Developer Suite contains application development and business intelligence tools and is built on internet standards such as Java, J2EE, XML and
HTML.

applications and web services. In addition, the suite contains Oracle Designer, a tool that allows developers to model business processes and automatically
generate enterprise database applications, and Oracle Forms Developer, a development tool for building database applications that can be deployed unchanged in
both internet and client/server based environments.
The Oracle Developer Suite also includes Oracle Warehouse Builder software that consolidates fragmented data and metadata pulled from packaged applications,
